After 27 plus years as a federal agent, I figure it is time to seriously start looking for a second career. I am getting a bit old to play feds and smugglers, so I have begun to look for something else. I have applied for a few jobs here and there that would supplement my pension nicely, but the one that seems to have the most appeal to me is also the one that will require the most work from me. It will not only include working a regular work week, but will require me to get a Master's Degree within 3 years (while working at that job) in a field completely new to me. So in that light tonight, I applied for the New York City Teaching Fellowship program. I always loved that movie Kindergarten Cop, and if it turns out half as fun as that I'll be set for life. Considering the fact that I think I would like to teach, and I would have summers off too, what could be better than that! Wish me luck please.

...and if you read this article it will be quite clear why I would not do so. See GIs in Iraq Get Their Mats After Enduring Insult From Web-Based Company @ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,246100,00.html. Its the story of some of our GI's in Iraq trying to order some mats on which to sleep, and then reportedly being insulted by the company of which they made a purchase inquiry. Just a crying shame that we have people like that (the one who gave the reply to our GIs) here in this country.All the best,Glenn B
